ItalianoDove sono biscottini e caramelle,

l'olio fresco dal mulino, il
bardolino,
pane tondo cotto al forno di mattonelle,

mi ricordo, di tutto mi ricordo.
Dove sono ceci fave per le minestre,

l’uovo col marsala, le frittelle,

il sapor' delle zucchine del giardino,

se n’è andato tutto via con il vento.

Passa un giorno di più,

e tutto sembra come fosse ieri,

passa la vita veloce,

e niente resta più come prima.

I boschetti con i funghi son perduti,

e la briscola in famiglia, non si fa più,

il suon dell'organetto dello zio,

mi ricordo, di tutto mi ricordo.

La bottega della Lina, il cenciaiolo,

limoncello e cassate a due soldi,

e le donne al lavatorio, la befana,

se n’è andato tutto via con il vento.

Biciclette e bagni al mare in agosto,
i fumetti con Minnie, e topolino,

la pesca della trota con il nonno,

mi ricordo, di tutto mi ricordo.

E fuggita la ragazza dagli occhi chiari,

la quercia del cortile, l'inchiostro blu,

e il cinema all' aperto con Maria,
se n’è andato tutto via con il vento.

Français

Où sont les gâteaux et le caramel
L’huile nouvelle du moulin,

Le pain rond cuit au four de brique
Je me souviens, je me souviens de tout

Où sont les pois chiches et les fèves pour les minestrones
L’œuf au Marsala, les beignets
L’odeur des courgettes dans le jardin
Tout a disparu avec le vent

Un jour de plus est passé
Et tout semble comme si c’était hier
La vie passe si vite
Et plus rien n’est plus comme autrefois

Les bois aux champignons sont perdus
On ne joue plus à la briscola en famille,
Le son de l’accordéon de l’oncle,
Je me souviens, je me souviens de tout

La boutique de Lina, le chiffonnier
Limoncello et cassate à deux sous
Et les femmes au lavoir, la befana
Tout a disparu avec le vent

La bicyclette et les bains de mer en août
Les bandes dessinées avec Minnie et Mickey
La pêche à la truite avec le grand-père
Je me souviens, je me souviens de tout

La jeune fille aux yeux clairs a disparu
Le chêne de la cour, l’encre bleue
Et le cinéma en plein air avec Maria
Tout a disparu avec le vent

English

Where are the cakes and the caramels
The oil fresh from the mill
The round bread baked in the brick oven
I remember, I remember everything

Where are the chick peas

End the broad beans from the minestrone
Eggs in Marsala, the doughnuts
The smell of zucchinis in the garden
Everything has gone with the wind

Another day has gone by
And all is as if it was yesterday
Life goes by so fast
And nothing is like it used to be

The mushroom woods have gone
We no longer play briscola as a family,
The sound of my uncle’s arccordion,
I remember, I remember everything

Lina’s little shop, the rag and bone man
Limoncello and cassate a penny a piece
And women in the wash house, la befana
Everything has gone with the wind

The bicycle and swimming in the August sea
The cartoons with Minnie and mickey
Trout fishing with granddad

The young bright-eyed girl has disappeared
The oak-tree in the garden, the blue ink
And the open-air cinema with Maria
Everything has gone with the wind

ItalianoNon è un James Dean, non è Marlon Brando Nemmeno principe di favola,
non è banchiere, non è pilota,
ma son sicura è lui ché amo.
L'ho incontrato in un bar qui vicino,
una sera che mi sentivo giù.
M'ha regalato, un caffè stretto
E da allora non ci lasciamo più.

Se oggi canto con felicita ci-ta,
E per l'amore del mio ragazzo-o-o
Che mette il sole nella mia vita,
con lui, con lui, mi sento
in paradiso.

Lui non è alto, né snello né biondo
non ha i capelli sulla fronte,
ma per me lui è, di tutti il miglior,
quando mi canta il suo amor
Non fa mai a pugni, per fa-re il duro
non ha studiato in università
Ma io mi sento la più bella del mondo,
quando mi porta a ballar.

Français

Ce n’est pas James Dean ni Marlon Brando
Encore moins le prince de la fable
Il n’est pas banquier, il n’est pas pilote
Mais je suis sûre qu’il est celui que j’aime.
Je l’ai rencontré dans un bar pas loin d’ici,
Une nuit où je me sentais déprimée
Il m’a payé un café serré
Et depuis on ne s’est plus quitté.

Si aujourd’hui je chante avec joie
C’est pour l’amour de mon copain
Qui met du soleil dans ma vie,
Avec lui, avec lui, je me sens
Au paradis

Il n’est ni grand ni mince ni blond
Il n’a pas un cheveu sur le front,
Mais pour moi il est de tous le meilleur,
Quand il me chante son amour.
Il ne se bat jamais pour jouer au dur
Il n’a pas étudié à l’université
Mais je me sens la plus belle du monde
Quand il m’emmène danser.

English

He’s no James Dean, nor Marlon Brando
Even less a fairy prince
No banker, nor pilot
But I’m sure is the one I love.
I met him in a bar not far from here
One night when I was feeling down
He bought me a coffee
And we’ve been together ever since

If today I am so happy to sing
It’s for the love of my boyfriend
Who brings sunshine into my life,
With him with him I am in paradise

He is neither tall nor slim nor blonde
Not a hair on his forehead
But for me, he is absolutely the best,
When he sings his love to me.
He never tries to play the tough guy
He didn’t go to college
But I am the most beautiful girl in the world
When he takes me onto the dance floor.

FOOL # 1

CHORUS
Am I fool number 1
Or am I fool number 2
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth
If you’re the queen of heartaches,
Am I your number 1 fool?

VERSE
I spent so much time gettin’ hurt in this race
I don’t want to end up in second place

CHORUS
Am I fool number one
Or am I fool number two
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth
If you’re the queen of heartaches,
Am I your number one fool?

Instrumental break

VERSE
Set ‘em up Joe, and we’ll knock ‘em on down
To the potential number one fool in town

CHORUS
Am I fool number one
Or am I fool number two
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth
If you’re the queen of heartaches,
Am I your number one fool?
If you’re the queen of heartaches, Am I the number one fool?

Let my eyes keep on roamingAs you look the other wayIn the end you know I’m not goingSo we’ll just stay the same
Straight past me and straight aheadAs you tell me what you think I needYou haven’t heard a word I’ve saidJust rehearsed lines that you feed me
Stay with me in silence
I’m trying to tell you what I’m missingAs you tell me nothing is wrongBut how can you see when you don’t listenLook ahead and move along
Stay with me in silenceStay with me, but leave me in silence
